Segun Sowunmi, a prominent chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has declared his willingness to work with President Bola Tinubu, saying he would resign from the PDP if such an opportunity arose.
Speaking on Channels TV’s Politics Today on Monday, Sowunmi confirmed meeting with President Tinubu and stated that he has no reservations about working with him, despite previously criticizing the APC-led administration as “rudderless” and “ethnically lopsided.”
“If I’m going to work with the president, I’m going to leave the PDP,” he said, dismissing the idea of secretly accepting a political appointment while remaining in opposition.
Sowunmi praised Tinubu’s mental sharpness and decisiveness, saying, “The president was mentally and psychologically alert.” He also recalled past interactions with Tinubu, commending his openness and directness.
Despite his past criticisms, Sowunmi now appears to hold a more favorable view of Tinubu, suggesting potential political realignment ahead.
“So the president was mentally and psychologically alert. I’ve known him for a while and I know how he thinks,” he said
He narrated a previous encounter with Tinubu where the president appeared open-minded and direct.
“He opened up by saying whether I wanted to be on an appointment. The only time I was ever on an appointment in government was the government of Otunba Gbenga Daniel when he was in government. . Credit to him. He knew I was like a pain. You know why? I can’t stand when people get on one after the other in meetings just to do psychophancy instead of cutting to the chase. I used to do that a lot,” he said.
